I have a question. Is one allowed to take screenshots from licensed series?

I'm i wrong in posting such content? I'll edit my post if it is.
Just need clarification on this ^-^; Thank you.

Normally screen shots would be fine, even if the show is licensed. It would just depend on the use and source. A screen shot of a DVD for illustration purposes would be fine. A screen shot of a fansub in the "new episode out" context is not. This is because it keeps the idea, that the fansub is being released, alive -- even if everyone knows they are still being made we don't allow any promotion.

Having said that we're not very strict about items loosely related to fansubs like that. We might remove the images if we see them, but you wouldn't be banned or anything, as you would with links to the fansubs, for example. In any case, thank you for removing the image(s).

Hope that makes sense?
